we're all lamenting the lack of growth in technology, but that's because we're looking for technology in all the wrong places, like personal computers, which are just like electric coasters now. in servers, in cell phones. we should be looking for it in the oil patch, where core labs is responsible for mapping out and foipding out where the ail and gas is. the technology that core labs has invented is what's behind so many of these new fields. whether it be noble energy off the coast of israel, that's like in here, okay? or the gulf, or a whole host of companies looking for the next big discovery on this continent. oh, and let's be really discerning. when we get results from many of the oil and gas companies over the next few days, we're going to hear moaning and groaning about how the commodities come down in price. but when you have proprietary technology like core, you don't need to worry about the price of the commodity, because every company needs you to find oil where the oil is and help them get it out of the ground. that's why this stock rocketed $10 today, to finish at $136.5

because it underperformed its portion of the technology sector even as the growth rate would have been outstanding for a personal computer-related block or a cellphone company. these days knowing what the sector is isn't enough. you need to know the subsector. you need to know how your company stacks up against the growth rate of that subsector. you need to have a good handle whether that larger is in favor or isn't. the bottom line, nothing is worse than a bad stock in a bad seccor neighborhood. nothing is better than owning a good stock in a good stock neighborhood. if you do not match the sector growth and do not determine whether the sector is in favor versus out of favor, then the earnings report better than expected or not, it won't mean a thing. when we return, i will give you several more ways to use these reports in the context of stock picking, not just trading. the drive you will come to see is pretty much a zero sub game. stay with cramer. i know what you're thinking... transit fares! as in the 37 billion transit fares we help collect each year. no? oh, right. you're thinki

sector analysis is particularly important with technology because people confuse this group of stocks, which comprises 15% of the s&p 500, constantly. tech is a whole group of sectors, semi conductors, software, cloud, internet, hardware makers, cell phones, tech, telecommunications tech, infrastructure stocks, assemblers, each has a separate growth rate. here i like to look at the growth rates of the companies i follow versus the individual sectors. the growth rate doesn't work. cloud stock, for example, are highly valued, meaning the high values to growth rates are extreme. that means there is no room for error or hair as we call it. in 2011, one of my favorite cloud plays reported a magnificent quarter. the guidance was lighter than i was hoping. the stock immediately got pancaked and stayed ugly for a long time. why? because it underperformed its portion of the technology sector even as the growth rate would have been outstanding for a personal computer-related stock or a disk drive, semiconductor or cellphone company. these days knowing what the sector is isn't enough. you need t
